24 things to do after installing Fedora 23

In this guide, we will introduce some practical operations to be completed after the ora 23 workstation version is installed to make it easier to use.

1. Update the Fedora 23 package

Even if you have just installed/upgraded Fedora 23, there may still be packages to be updated. After all, ora always uses the latest version of each of its own software, and the release of the new version of the package is quite frequent.

To run updates, run the following command:

1. # Dnf update

Update Fedora 23

2. Set the host name in Fedora 23

We will use the hostnamectl command to query and set the system Host Name and related settings. This tool can be used to manage three different host name categories: static, pretty, and transient.

The static host name is a common host name, which can be selected by the System user and saved in the/etc/hostname file.

Here, we will not talk too much about the pretty and transient host name categories; our main goal is to set the system host name, so ......

Use the following command to list the current host name.

1. # Hostnamectl status

Sample output result

1. Static hostname: www.tecmint.com
2. Icon name: computer-vm
3. Chassis: vm
4. Machine ID: 458842014b6c41f9b4aadcc8db4a2f4f
5. Boot ID: 7ac08b56d02a4cb4a5c5b3fdd30a12e0
6. Virtualization: kvm
7. Operating System: Fedora 23 (Workstation Edition)
8. Cpe OS Name: cpe:/o: fedoraproject: fedora: 23
9. Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-300. fc23.x86 _ 64
10. Architecture: x86-64

Now, change the Hostname:

1. # Hostnamectl set-hostname -- static "bkjia.com"

Important: to make the change take effect, it is necessary to restart the system. After the restart, check the host name, as we did above.

3. Set static IP address in Fedora 23

To set the static IP address of the system, open and edit the network configuration file named enp0s3 or eth0 in the/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/directory.

Open the file with the editing tool you selected.

1. # Vi/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3

Sample output result

1. HWADDR = 08: 00: 27: 33: 01: 2D
2. TYPE = Ethernet
3. BOOTPROTO = dhcp
4. DEFROUTE = yes
5. PEERDNS = yes
6. PEERROUTES = yes
7. 20174_failure_fatal = no
8. IPV6INIT = yes
9. IPV6_AUTOCONF = yes
10. Required 6_defroute = yes
11. IPV6_PEERDNS = yes
12. 20176_peerroutes = yes
13. 20176_failure_fatal = no
14. NAME = enp0s3
15. UUID = 1930cdde-4ff4-4543-baef-036e25d021ef
16. ONBOOT = yes

Change and save the file as recommended below.

1. BOOTPROTO = "static"
2. ONBOOT = "yes"
3. IPADDR = 192.168.0.200
4. NETMASK = 255.255.255.0
5. GATEWAY = 192.168.0.1
6. DNS1 = 202.88.131.90
7. DNS2 = 202.88.131.89

Important: Replace the network configuration in the above file with your own network settings.

After the above changes, it is necessary to restart the network service to make the new changes take effect, and verify the IP address and network settings with the following commands.

1. # Service network restart
2. # Ifconfig

Verify static IP Address
